that he finds Al Gore's social fascist 'Mein Kyoto' so incredibly appalling.
Well, he did say it was going to be an “assault on reason,” so everyone was warned.
Gore is insane. I’ve thought that for a long time.
His particular bugbear is that democracy has been subverted by the decline of the printed word -...
Which he single-handedly tries to make-up for with his overly wordy Crazyman manifesto.
Wow. The author seems to have looked the book over in detail.
Good insights.
If Algore was anyone else, he would be in an institution for life.
Its called tranference.
Dems are masters at it.

Al Gore posing as an “intellectual” is MORE of a stretch than saying that Rosie O’Donnell looks better than any woman on the planet in a bikini.
When Al Gore announces he is the Son of God I will not be surprised.
Never has a psuedo-intellectual risen so far in public life, he gives hope to self-obsessed narcissists everywhere. He is no different than a pierced, tattooed, college anarchist listening to Rage Against the Machine wearing his Che’ Guevara shirt, except that we have to listen to his inane ravings.
Okay, I'm listening...
" -- and the rise of television,"
Yeah? Go on!
"a one-way medium"
Yeah? Yeah?
that is controlled by evil corporations in league with a Bush White House.
AAAAARGH! Dang! The dumba$$ ALMOST had something there...
He’s obviously hoping to get hired at Time Magazine.
"Burn, burn, burn...a ball of fire, ball of fire..."
All I think of is that song they play on Rush Limbaugh when I hear or read about this joke of a politician.
“The lust for power is astonishingly successful in hiding itself from itself, and projecting its fondest desires on to others. Mr. Gore even warns against those who claim to have exclusive possession of the truth! But the fact is that Mr. Gore does not want a debate; he wants a chorus. He is a much bigger threat to freedom than George W. Bush ever was, or ever could ever be.”
Oh, that’s gonna leave a mark.
Watch out for Manbearpig!
I picture in my mind a Gore-Thompson debate in the last months of the 2008 campaign. Gore rants; Gore raves. Thompson stands there, watches and says after it’s over:
“You know, Al? A little Zoloft will fix that right up.”

The Web and talk radio provide more opportunity for "two-way" communication than has ever existed in history.
And many on the left want to shut down both.
In defense of the disabled...
I wish people would not toss around the word “bipolar” in a casual, denigrating way. It is a real, specific and serious disease that causes great suffering to the small minority of people who have it. It’s almost completely misunderstood by the public because of the media’s misuse and incomplete explanations of the term.
Various neurological disorders (science now knows these are not ‘mental’ illnesses) seem to come into vogue for this pop-culture treatment; it used to be someone was called Schizo (schizophrenia), or paranoid, or psychotic. This is like using the word ‘crippled’ or ‘deformed’ or ‘handicapped’ as a put-down. It’s a lazy use of language when a more accurate and more carefully thought-out expression would do.
However, that being said, given Gore’s behaviour, it’s entirely possible he is afflicted with bipolar disorder, he does seem to exhibit irrational mania and also fall into desperate depressed type of states. Or perhaps it’s borderline or narcissisic personality disorder, or any other number of possibilities! But if so, a writer should carefully evaluate it and make the case, not just grab at popular expressions that denigrate a handicapped group of people.
